Workshop Log: May 2023
Thank you all for your support - our Coronation weekend sale ensured that Matt was kept busy in the workshop whilst Rick polished and packaged all your orders.
We hope that you enjoy using your new Tanner Bates pieces.
The sun has made an appearance here in Devon (finally) so we've had the workshop doors open - it makes all the difference!
A new (to us) addition to the workshop
If you're like us and get excited by new tools and machinery, this is for you. Our very handsome ex-Mulberry Seiko a 'LSC-8BLV-1' to be precise!
What a beaut - just look at it go!
More exciting developments to follow, but the eager eyed will note that we're not stitching leather here...
We also have a very smart new sign outside our workshop.
Pop in and say hi if you're passing!

Sand Cast, Solid Brass Buckles, Made in England
You probably already know that our buckles are sand cast in a West Midlands foundry, the old fashioned way, however we wanted to share with you a rare glimpse behind the scenes at the foundry and show you how our buckles are made.
